Snake in the grass

While filling a bird feeder in our backyard I heard a loud hissing. I looked over and saw this little fella. It is called the Texas Cobra or Hog-Nose Snake. He is harmless but gave me quite the scare.
I got a few good pics before I let him depart.

Over in that there creekbed I found a shoshone arrahead

While working in the garden I found these partial arrow heads. Our area was the last camp of the local Indian tribe before they were forced onto a reservation. Lots of neat stuff to find.

Beach-ball Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe is my favorite melon. The way I see it, the bigger the better, so I got some seeds for 10 lb cantaloupe. They start out looking like a football and then inflate with sweet goodness until they reach the size of a beach-ball.
